About This Home

As of May 2023

Live the good life in the heart of Princeton's Western Section, just a stroll from Palmer Square, the University and McCarter Theater. This brick beauty meets all of today's needs while maintaining an air of dignity, thanks to a seamless expansion by Lasley Brahaney, comfortable high-end updates, and an abundance of period detailing. Original spaces, both roomy and intimate, can be as formal or casual as desired, dictated only by personal taste. The main entry never fails to render guests speechless with its split staircase and graceful millwork, while the side entry and breezeway conveniently bridge the 3-car garage and the sunny gourmet kitchen. A coffered ceiling feels both refined and cozy in the adjoining family room. Upstairs, rooms for play, work or relaxation join 6 bedrooms. The enviable multi-room master wing has his and hers bathrooms, 3 of the home's 7 fireplaces and lovely views of the grounds. The landscaped lot, which is 1.27 quiet acres, offers a pool beyond a lush lawn and lengthy terrace. Some first floor rooms do not have central air conditioning. Tax assessment has been lowered from 3.763,300 in 2013 to 3,386,300 in 2014. Taxes at 2013 rate would be 72,162. The 2014 rate should be determined by August 2014.
